"Future World" by Ganymed - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

The 1973 science fiction film, "Soylent Green" is paired with the 1979 German disco band hit, "Future World" -- a whole new look on the Stanley Greenberg screenplay based on the Harry Harrison novel. The planet is in the "over population" stage and the environment has been effect by the greenhouse effect making the temperature reach unbearable highs.

The film starred Charlton Heston, Leigh Taylor-Young, Brock Peters, Joseph Cotton, Chuck Connors, Paula Kelly and was the last film for Edward G. Robinson.

Although Ganymed's tune outlines an "Automatic Lover" style lyric, I have paired it with some of "Soylent Green's" grayish and disturbing scenes to give it a new contrast.

The song was a minor hit here in the US as it appeared at the end of the disco wave -- but I understand the band was still a bit hit in Germany and surrounding areas. Their sound was recognizable and in the early 80's a must for after-hours dancing or drinking. Great synthetic feel.
